Guest guest Posted May 5, 1999 Report Share Posted May 5, 1999 Hi ! I don't know whether there is a risk of overdosing NAC. The normal adult dose is 200 mg three times a day and 600 mg are taken only if an instant bowel movement is desired. But that may vary from person to person. The usual form of NAC here are well-tasting bubble-tablets containing 200 mg. For little children we have a sap, allowing to give smaller doses. So I don't know why there are 600 mg in your capsules, but it should be okay. With the newest findings (or better speculations) about GSH being important for pwcf, the intake of NAC, the most important building block of GSH, might be positive too. In fact the reason why Fiona and most other pwcf in Germany are on NAC is twofold. It can cleave the mucus in the intestines and it can also help to improve the antioxidant-system in the body. Thanks for mentioning Fiona's picture. We are very pleased with the design of our prototype, but there is still some work to do with the internal construction :-)) There is half a year between the two pictures and her hair is getting darker. Silke and I have dark, straight hair and we have always wondered where the blonde curls came from :-) And is a beauty too! Please don't tell her, that I have suggested half the adult dose for her :-)) , I don't think you have to be on cystic-l to get a photo published in the gallery. I am sure Ron is happy about every addition. , I have the feeling that Joachim has recovered from his sad loss. At least he does a great job with his list and is still very active in his local support group. But I only know him from cyberspace. If you go to his website at www.cf-selbsthilfe.org you can see a new photo of him in an upbeat mood. Hope all are doing well and we don't have any twister-victims on the list. Saw the pictures on CNN and it was really terrible. Bye-bye Torsten dad of Fiona 2ywcf e-mail: VB-Wertpapiere@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
